Overview
Son of Man is bringing incredible Basque style cider to the Columbia River Gorge. In order to make the best Basque style cider possible we are raising additional funds to purchase a beautiful wooden Kupela.

Son of Man is out to create the best sagardo (Basque for cider) you've ever had. In order to do this we are raising money to purchase a traditionally-Spanish, but American made Kupela.

Our company is committed to making and sharing the best product possible. Fermenting in wood gives soul to cider. Kupelas are traditional wooden fermenting vessels used to make cider, wine and sour beer throughout the world.

Year after year, generations of Basques have made cider in ancient, patinated Spanish chestnut kupelas. While we don't have Spanish chestnut in the States, we can source top quality, sustainably harvested American oak. The interplay between the cider, wood, oxygen and the microorganisms thriving in the barrel is fundamental in creating a living product that tastes delicious.

We are asking for your help to finance the purchase of a gorgeous, 5,000 liter American oak kupela from the skilled craftsmen at Foeder Crafters. The barrel is being designed and built to our exact specs, mimicking the traditional vessels housed in every ciderhouse around San Sebastian. When complete, we will be able to make an authentic Basque style cider in both flavor and process. Wild yeast. Oregon apples. Spontaneous ferment.

 

 

What We Need & What You Get

We are raising $18,000 to purchase a beautiful, American made kupela. The equipment will be used to ferment cider and will be the centerpiece of our Txotx parties, where guests will have the opportunity to sample cider direct from the tanks. 

 

The Impact

Your contribution will be invaluable in propelling our launch this fall. The kupela will help us produce the absolute best Basque style cider possible.

 

Other Ways You Can Help

We understand that not everyone has the ability to make a financial contribution. Hell, if we had the money we wouldn't be on indiegogo in the first place! Regardless of whether or not you can support us with cash, please share this campaign with anyone and everyone you know! The more folks that know about what we are doing the more likely our project will be funded and turn into a success! Evangelize about Son of Man cider!
